Palm Coast to Host Florida's Largest Father's Day Lacrosse Tournament for 18th Year Running

More than 150 youth lacrosse teams from across Florida are expected to descend on Palm Coast June 20-21, 2026, as the city hosts the 18th annual Father's Day Lacrosse Tournament, Florida's largest Father's Day weekend lacrosse event.

Organized by Florida United Lacrosse, the tournament has become a long-standing tradition for athletes and families across the state, bringing thousands of visitors to Palm Coast each year for a weekend of competition, camaraderie, and family fun.

Games will take place at Indian Trails Sports Complex and feature boys and girls divisions ranging from 8U through high school competition levels, with teams competing throughout the weekend.

The Father's Day Lacrosse Tournament is one of three major annual events Palm Coast hosts in partnership with Florida United Lacrosse, alongside the Pumpkin Shootout and Veterans Day Invitational. Together, these tournaments have helped establish Palm Coast as one of Florida's premier destinations for youth sports tourism.

"For 18 years, this tournament has brought athletes and families from across Florida to Palm Coast, and we're proud to continue that tradition," said James Hirst, Director of Parks and Recreation for the City of Palm Coast. “Events like this showcase our outstanding sports facilities, generate significant economic impact for local businesses, and create memorable experiences for players, parents, and visitors alike.”

In addition to providing a high-quality competitive experience for athletes, the tournament is expected to generate approximately $1.8 million in local economic impact through hotel stays, dining, shopping, and other visitor spending throughout the community.

Residents are encouraged to come out and enjoy the action throughout the weekend while supporting youth athletes from across the state. Admission is free for spectators.
